throbber Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think I may hijack my girlfriends phone and text her friend and ask her what, if any, alcohol/other delights they were planning on taking to the party and if they were planning on taking nothing then I would ask for an estimate on what they would have been willing to consume during their stay here. And maybe whether or not she would have been willing to exchange partners after the pudding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 A disturbing number of my friends seem to be attending the John Bishop gig of their own volition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Just now, Tynieness said: You need new friends. Agreed. I'm not sure of the protocol though, since previously when I've invited people round for dinner, I've also provided them with something to drink, but from throbber's tale, it appears that's now frowned upon. If I invite someone round for a cup of tea, should they be bringing the biscuits? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 10 minutes ago, Tynieness said: At all times it must be remembered that Throbber is a mentalist. A mentalist who is home all alone* with a stash alcohol. I think it's time to form a raiding party. * I know his girlfriend's home but if she's feeling under the weather, she might not be up for the fighting. With her out of the equation, I think it would only take 7 or 8 of us to overpower Throbs and pinch his wine. Maybe we could trade the Budweiser for some rubbing alcohol or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Noticed on the highlights of the England Australia rugby match that the electronic displays showed "respect the kicker, quiet please" when there was a penalty.f**k off. f**k right off f**k yourself. And if the penalty kicker is the opposition he can f**k off the c**t, he's a shit bag fuckpop who likes to touch horses and drinks Latte at Starbucks with his sister/wife. He's also a fucking c**t so no, f**k the kicker and f**k you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never invited these people though, my girlfriend did which makes it totally different if they are going to be helping themselves to my beer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 People who don't understand how pubs work. Forming an orderly queue snaking backwards from the centre of the bar rather than spreading out into the vast empty space along the whole bar. It's fucking ridiculous behaviour, how have these people gone through their whole lives without learning how to buy a drink in a pub?! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it was a Spoons as it seems to happen mostly in their premises It was indeed a Wetherspoons - my own fault you could say, but chosen out of convenience for somewhere showing the football and rugby close to the station before heading for the train home. Everyone doing it was older though - everyone under 30 who needed a drink during this time approached the bar, looked at the queue with confusion then just carried on to an empty space at the bar like a normal person and got served quickly enough. It was the middle aged who were guilty of this even though you'd think they'd have been in pubs pre-Wetherspoons. One of the bar staff kept coming over to the queue to tell them they could spread out along the bar and they all just continued standing in single file, vacantly staring like she was speaking a different language. Euthanasia's too good for such cretins, frankly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s usually when there’s just one wife serving from what I’ve seen. Or sometimes just a hatch where you’re served the drink from. Valid point in a way though. I assume the OP means a queue running down from the bar through the middle of the pub, at least what I had in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Aye in a small club like that where there's only one or two people behind the bar and /or the layout of the bar means you have to queue like that it's obviously fine. It's when people do it in normal pubs that it's an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
